I couldn't seem to find this pic but I came across it while in my photobucket account. This is a very crude and extremely accurate way of finding out how far the carbs and scoop were going to stick out of my hood. Once I got the height of the rope, I just closed the hood and put the rope back up. The rope was attached to my fence and my back porch support. I can't remember if it was the top of the tunnel ram or the top of the carbs. Either way it put a HUGE smile on my face!!!! Come to think about it....the end of the tape measure was the top of the scoop.
